They are now 26 and 20 years old. The 26 year old has finished college is a wife and has a beautiful baby boy, the 20 year old has a lot of mental issues and is the reason that my fight with the mental health system began. It was not until then that I realized how bad our mental health system is. I also have a nephew that was adopted and he has FAS, which there is still a lot of research to be completed on FAS. I also have two step grandsons that have Autism, so our family is involved in the mental health system at several different levels. None of these individuals are receiving the help that they need.
This is why I changed the direction that I was going in college. At first I wanted to work in a crime lab, so I received my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. But the older that my youngest was getting and the more trouble that we had with her receiving the proper help, I changed my course and received a Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology. However, I cannot get licensed in the state of Michigan because my course did not require a practicum. I have several different ideas for research, but cannot do them until I receive my PhD in Psychology. Our mental health system is broken and I want to help fix it.показать меньше
